    Exactly. The Klitschkos aren't the fatboy species of HW champion. Nearly always in tip-top shape. 250lb of muscle is a big advantage over 225lb of muscle and 25lb of fat.

    You'd have been in tears if your hero would have got in the ring with Vitali that's for sure... :lol:

    Measurements for the Danny Williams fight below:

    Neck 18 1/4"
    Biceps 17 1/2"
    Forearm 17"

    Right. Fat does not help. ALi was at his best around 215, not 220+.

    This is an excellent match two of the hardest HW's to defeat ever...if I had to pick a guy that cant beat a prime Tyson it would be vitali..6'7 250,skilled who had a chin..sounds like a dangerous guy to me for a 5'10 Hw no matter what or who...This is a real slug fest,the question is can Tyson get off those combos hes going to need? Vitali very underatted footwork and position fighter whos extremely hard to hit for anyone not having an 82/84 inch reach....I like both Tyson is clearly the better fighter and talent but ii like vitali slightly with the size and enough talent/toughness to get a decision here.5'10 and not enough evidence to suggest Tyson handles someone like this,based on his Tucker fight that he won easily but tucker being the closest thing to vitali at 6'5 225 just doesn't stack up.

    Vitali Klitschko never was a 250 pounds ripped muscular fighter.
    Plus vk was only 4 times 250 lbs ore more .
    I think his heaviest weight was 252 pounds against the slow
    fat 251 pounds Arreola.But the weight wasn't importan his carrier
    because his every opponent was slow and/or fat and/or featherfisted
    and/or old.
    Who cares a fighters' weight when his typical opponent fat undertrained and slow like Arreola,kirk and kevin johnson,
    38 years old sanders, the 37 years old overweight Lewis,
    solis,charr,d. williams etc ? These men looked like a pig against vk.
    Imagine fights against a ripped prime 220 lbs Tyson,215 lbs Holyfield or about a 230 pounds Lewis and this 240-250 lbs "boy next door" type vk body will be useless.This enough against fat punchinbags.
    Otherwise the 250 lbs wasn't typical vk weight. He was minimum 17 times lighter than 240 pounds.
    His weight is based on his height (more skeletal,skin, fat and other organs) and this is nothing to do with outstanding muscle mass.
    But you are ridicolous 250 pounds muscle with zero lbs bones,skin and other organs(brain) ? Intersesting idea.

    Otherwise the 250 lbs isn't so remarkable for a 6'7" man .
    The old timer Carnera was heavier and maybe 2 inches shorter and he never was a Nandrolone user.
    But who cares vk's weight? Not to important when this loser
    proved nothing against young muscular prime hard-punchers.True he looked decent against nearly pensioned fighters or fatbuilders just
    this proves nothing considering he never showed only one very impressive performance.Moreover ! Some fatbuilder like Arreola or the
    fat Peter chased him but i think he couldn't knock down these slow
    defenceless easy to hit tired targets because his punching leverage was weak.

    These measuremenst are ridicolous. 17 inches forearm for klit. ?
    The human stupidity is endless.
    Half inches difference between biceps and forearm (or Popeye syndrome) ?
    I have an idea measure your biceps and forearm and you can see
    this is a joke( fake numbers). I don't know only one person
    who measures these stupid numbers in boxing.
    Too bad these unintelligent childish klit fans can believe every S.H.I.T.

    A 240/250 pound man can easily have 17 inch forearms,specially if the work ethnic like theirs that included strongman lifts......I am 160 and had at one time 15 inch forearms...im pretty sure 250 Klitchko can have 17.

    1) VVVMMM's posts make my eyes bleed. That stream of consciousness approach poisons my brain.

    2) People can have weird builds. I also happen to have abnormally large forearms in relation to biceps. What can one do ...

    I think he means the difference between bicep and forearm should be greater. I think.

    well he would still be wrong regardless ,there are ppl like myself that have bigger foremans than Biceps.and his logic is Vitali needs 18 inch biceps to be proportionate to his 17 inch Forearms?Not likley and if so still nonsense...:patsch
